Liquified Propane Gas

From MTS Sensors
 

 

A regional gas utility had to dramatically cut costs through the use of automation at their gas distribution terminal. All pertinent information was data linked via a DCS system to an operations center located remotely from the distribution terminal. The primary requirements the customer had for this application were: * Level and temperature measurement * High degree of accuracy * Installation through existing tank ports * Ease of maintenance without interruption of vessel integrity

The customer needed to accurately measure changing levels of propane in their tanks under varying seasonal temperatures. Temperature measurement was needed on each tank in order to calculate standard volume under all climactic conditions.
